⚠️ Civil Disturbance
Federal Capital Territory : Two Nigerian citizens in a widely circulated video that stirred public outcry passionately voiced their dismay over the escalating prices of essential food items and the failures of political leadership.
Advisory : Enhancing communication between government officials and the public is crucial. Organizing forums where citizens can express their concerns and receive direct responses from their leaders may help alleviate tensions and provide clarity on steps being taken to address economic issues.
❌⚠️ Infrastructural Damage
Osun : A building collapse in Osogbo, Osun State, resulting to at least three people being trapped under the rubble, while two others have been rescued.
Advisory : This tragic incident calls for strict enforcement of building codes and regular structural assessments, especially in public and commercial areas. It's essential to ensure that all construction projects comply with safety regulations to prevent such disasters.
🔫 Kidnapping
Delta : Gunmen who abducted two indigenes of the Abavo community, Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State, are insisting on the full payment of the N7m ransom fee earlier demanded for the release of the kidnapped victim.
Advisory : Increasing security measures and surveillance in areas known for high kidnapping rates is essential. Community policing and public awareness on safety precautions can help reduce these incidents.
🗡 Homicide
Benue : No fewer than five persons killed by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen during an attack on Egwuma community in the Agatu Local Government Area of Benue
Advisory : It is imperative to enhance security measures and increase law enforcement presence in vulnerable areas. Establishing community policing initiatives and conflict resolution mechanisms can help address the underlying issues leading to violence.
💊 Drug Trafficking/Drug Abuse
Lagos : The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, announced that its operatives have intercepted various quantities of cocaine and opioids such as tramadol, pentazocine injection, morphine sulphate, ketamine injection, among others concealed in soles of shoes, clothes and other items being shipped to the United States, United Kingdom and Cyprus.
Advisory : This operation underscores the need for continued aggressive actions to disrupt supply chains that support terrorist activities. Strengthening border security and enhancing intelligence operations are vital to tackling the nexus between drug trafficking and terrorism.
